Abstract

To make any sort of optimality argument, or rational engineering decision, one needs a fairly precise understanding of the problem to be tackled. Thus the purpose of this paper is to formalize Unish grammar by developing prototype Unish Tree Adjoining Grammars in the hope that developing and formalizing Unish grammars at this stage will help to direct the way the future version of Unish should be tailored and modified, as an artificial language.

Keywords: Tree Adjoining Grammars; universal language; artificial language
